Description

Important and fascinating Fraraccio Sfilato of large size, made in the early 2000s by the historic Frosolone cutlery, authentic symbol of Molisan artisanal tradition.

With its 28 cm total length, this specimen belongs to the category of large working knives that for generations accompanied the daily life of breeders, farmers and shepherds of the Apennines between Molise and Abruzzo. A model that over the years has become a true reference for enthusiasts of traditional Italian cutlery.

The knife features an elegant black glossy ABS handle, resistant and functional, enriched by polished metal fittings and the classic terminal ring typical of many regional knives of Central-Southern Italy.

The long 12 cm blade is made of 420 INOX steel, a material appreciated for its robustness, resistance to oxidation and ease of maintenance. The slender shape of the Sfilato enhances its elegance and represents one of the most iconic lines of Fraraccio production.

For decades this type of knife has been carried daily in the fields and pastures of the central Apennines, becoming an indispensable tool for rural work and a distinctive element of the local peasant culture.

Today the large Sfilato Fraraccio is considered an authentic cult of Italian traditional cutlery, highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts.
